The departure of Clément Rémiens, good news for "Here Everything Begins"

• In the episode of

  Here Everything 

  Begins

   broadcast this Wednesday January 26 on TF1, Maxime Delcourt leaves the Auguste Armand Institute.

• The interpreter of the character, Clément Rémiens, had justified his departure by a need “to see something else”.

• And if losing the one who is considered the main character of a choral series was a good thing?

The gates open, a crowd of students advances.

Maxime Delcourt, bea, discovers the Auguste Armand Institute, its castle and its frenzy.

It is with the face of Clément Rémiens that the series

launched on November 2, 2020 on TF1.

Only a little over a year later, the actor decided to take his hat, put away his knives and leave his playmates. His last scene is broadcast this Wednesday.

"I'm very happy with everything that's happened, but it's always rushed, we can't stop working… And I need to see something else," the actor explained in an interview. at

last November.

This decision inevitably impacts the series, the credits of which open with the name of Clément Rémiens, he who bridged the universe of

and that of its spin-off.

'Cause he wasn't really the hero

Despite the loss of its headliner,

should continue to mobilize its three million followers on a daily basis, first of all because it is a choral series. During the convention bringing together the cast of the soap opera on November 1 in Paris, there were 27 actresses and actors on the stage (and not all of them were present), which is as many characters and potential darlings of the public.

“I am presented as the main character for this launch perhaps, but indeed, on a daily series, for the public to identify themselves, you have to trust other actors, argued Clément Rémiens at

ago. more than a year.

To give color to Maxime, he also needs to surround himself, so the goal is for it to be a choral series.

“Mission successful after more than 300 episodes: aren’t Emmanuel Teyssier, Eliott and Hortense just as important as the young gastronomy prodigy?

Because the character evolved little

If the expression "to have the heart on the hand" had to have an illustration in the dictionary, we could affix the photo of Maxime Delcourt. Always considerate, attentive to everyone's emotions, the white knight in the kitchen has been criticized for having too perfect an image. "I wanted to change the character, but really make him evolve, smear him even more than that," confided Clément Rémiens in November, aware that the screenwriters did not offer sufficient development to his character.

When Emmanuel Teyssier hinted at a small part of humanity or when Hortense went from comedy to drama with the plot on escorting, Maxime tried tirelessly to save the world.

However, in

, it is sometimes a rebel who appeared on the screen or even a tortured soul, addicted to codeine.

Well, okay, maturity has certainly calmed the character… But his place as valedictorian made him a bit purring.

Because the series needs permanent vitality

What is the biggest challenge of a daily soap opera? Aside from seeing its episodes start on time every day, sparking the curiosity of viewers is a difficult task. Each week, six authors work on stories reserved for students, teachers and protagonists who revolve around the school of gastronomy. The screenwriters offered Clément Rémiens a major plot for his big departure, allowing him to play with Michel Sarran and to ally himself with the character of Teyssier.

Before his last act, the production took care to reduce the score of the actor.

“He warned us several months ago so that we had time to write a good release.

This also allowed us not to include him in all the intrigues, in order to accustom the viewer to the fact that Maxime was no longer at the center of everything, ”confided producer Sarah Farahmand to

.

The inter-school competition was an opportunity to leave a little more room for Enzo, present since the first episode but whose role was then only anecdotal, and for the new promo, from Tom to Deva, via Jasmine .

The series also has every interest in relying a little more on newcomers every day: unless they repeat years indefinitely, the students (and therefore the actors) are doomed to pack their bags within a year or so. of them.
